She was once his mistress. Pasha, as it turns out, has many mistresses. When convalescing from chest pains brought on by nothing more sinister than indigestion, he has a fling with Aprilia his nurse.

Like all the author's stories I have read so far, Paid In Full is written in a style that is so fast paced and urgent that it left me almost breathless - I found it hard to put down. A real honest-to-goodness pulp-fiction read (and I mean that in a good way) that recalls the best of classic gangster fiction. Loved it!

Wow, the Last Gasp by Robert Parker left me wanting more. This novel has great characters, good pacing and a super plot. I hope to see
more by this author!
The prologue to Last Gasp by Robert F Barker is an interplay between routine surveillance and the stress of operations not going to plan. The prologue also sets-off the tone of the novel and introduces Barker as a skilled writer. The characters remain nameless. The reader is an observer just as the police squad is voyeurs to a liaison between a client and a dominatrix. When things go un-expected, pressure mounts. The book launches finding DCI Carver, the somewhat preoccupied detective, at the gates of a mansion in what promises to be a most intriguing read.
